Closed Systems

We are a boutique provider of cyber security consulting and a developer of novel IT problems (and solutions).

...

Been told you can't do that?

Most organisations will try to work with known solutions and solve problems in the regular way if they can. The incumbent providers are generally a bit slower, more expensive and less interested in keeping you happy. Why not try something new or a novel technology (often at a fraction of the price) and shape it how you want it? We're here to help.

Lost the source code for your business critical app in the wreck of a Spanish galleon?

There are plenty of companies who have critical, very legacy applications. Often the knowledge of how to build them or the source code are lost to time. We can help reverse engineer old systems to make minor fixes or extract the data they hold.

$10M state of the art AI model insists on doing a Canon rush in Starcraft 2 when it's supposed to be trading shares on the NYSE?

AI is developing at a break-neck pace, and there are a lot of people rushing to use it for business critical applications. We've been doing "working with AI" for quite some time now (demonstrated by this 2016 conferencekeynote). We know the pitfalls and the best ways to engineer around the more imaginative tendancies of generative AI.

We put handrails on walkways rather than just signage, are you currently relying on asking nicely prompts to make your AI "safe"?

Want to drive a giant animatronic squid tentacle with a Word 2003 macro for... reasons?

Why would you want a fully articulated tentacle? Does it really need GPS? Why Word 2003 by all that is holy? We'll tell you if it's a terrible idea, however, if it's weird or wonderful we're probably interested in helping.

Security Automation and R&D is our thing

We're happy to bite off the things other companies aren't really equipped to handle:

  • Need to sort 500,000 malware samples by how awful the developer is at their job?
  • Testing an environment where sneezing near it will cause an outage?
  • Want to understand the actual threats and intelligence on what you're facing, not just prepare to fight an APT who doesn't have you slightly on their radar?

...

Does this sound useful?

If we can help you with any tricky problems you're facing please reach out, we'd love to have a chat about what you're looking for (and can offer some advice/consulting on the call).
